2. Fire damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_damper

   Intumescent dampers swell shut due to intumescence in the event of a fire. Unlike mechanical dampers, it is a physical/chemical reaction that causes closure. Cleaning and an age assessment are periodically performed. The annulus of an intumescent damper is closed eliminating smoke migration. Also, intumescent fire dampers can be qualified to ...

3. Smoke damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_damper

   Smoke damper may be used to prevent the spread of smoke from the space of fire origin to other spaces in the same building.

4. Damper (flow) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_(flow)

   This damper can switch the electrical power to control additional "slave" dampers, minimizing the electrical load on the damper's control circuitry and power transformer. A zone damper (also known as a Volume Control Damper or VCD) is a specific type of damper used to control the flow of air in an HVAC heating or cooling system. In order to ...

5. Duct (flow) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_(flow)

   Vertically mounted fire dampers are gravity operated, while horizontal fire dampers are spring powered. A fire damper's most important feature is a mechanical fusible link which is a piece of metal that will melt or break at a specified temperature. This allows the damper to close (either from gravity or spring power), effectively sealing the ...

6. Register (air and heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(air_and_heating)
